Where it works and where it rubs
Elements. Water nourishes Earth: one offers emotional depth, the other stability and care. It is a protective, slow-building combination.
Modalities. A Cardinal sign starts things and a Fixed sign sustains them: a good division of labor if neither tries to control the other.
Polarity. Both are receptive (yin: Earth or Water) signs, so your basic energy matches.
